how Subway is doing with their new menu

songbird — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 16:46:53 GMT

We have one near us, so I decided to try one of the new kind of subs. My husband and tried one earlier and he thought it was awful. I don't know which one he tried. Supposedly the best ones were the Italiano versions. Here they are. The worst were supposed to be the club series. I didn't know which one to choose so I got the Supreme Meats. It was pretty good. Unusually tasty for Subway. Little salty but nice. The meats were very good. Subway was in trouble for a while. They closed many stores and revamped the menu. While Subway’s same-store sales rose 7.4% after the launch of the Subway Series, they rose “more than 12%” for the top 15,000 restaurants, or 75% of the chain's more than 20,000 locations. So they are doing well. I prefer getting subs in restaurants. But Subway is OK on occasion. Anyone try any of the new menu?

Cheesesteaks: #1 The Philly, #2 The Outlaw, #3 The Monster.
Italianos: #4 Supreme Meats, #5 Bella Mozza, #6 The Boss.
Chicken: #7 The MexiCali, #8 The Great Garlic, #9 The Champ.
Clubs: #10 All-American Club, #11 Subway Club, #12 Turkey Cali Club.

Does Subway have any meat free choices?

Last 2 times , tried Subway for quick sandwiches to take in a cooler for a day swimming , they were essentailly nothing but bread . Waste of money . Those commericials where big name atletes are promoting subway are just paid liars , as the sandwiches are not as they used to be since they have become extremely skimpy .

@Group 5 minus 1 Yes, the Subway near me has a few Vegan and Vegetarian choices.

I went into a Subway about 15 years ago to buy a gift card. I do not believe I have ever had their food. Some of the youtubers I follow were going through the list of them and it was just an o.k. for most of the reviews. Most thought all the other sandwich shops out there were much better.

My husband and I used to really like Subway, and would eat there maybe once a month, but no more!!!!

The last few times their subs were horrible, and just didn't taste very good....I don't know if it is just the one near us, because I haven't tried other locations, but I will pass!!! My husband still likes their steak and cheese sub though.

Had Subway only once. All bread and they nuked their bread. Horrible.

worked in a deli as a kid we dug a trench of the bread out for our meatball heros. mmmm i could finish one of those, with a pile of chips and a have an ice cream sundae and still be hungry.

I'm very partial to their meatballs on Italian bread with mozzarella cheese, toasted. Very melty and yummy. A foot long has 6 meatballs in it. I usually eat half and rewrap it. Toaster oven reheats the other half the next day, so I get lunch twice. Weekly circulars offer coupons for foot long at $4.99. So I get lunch for two days on a $5 expense.

Don't go there often, only with a coupon, and I only like their meatball & mozz. Subway is not making much money from my patronage.

One of my friends goes to Subway quite a bit. He says he always orders 'double the meat' on his subs b/c he thinks they are skimpy on the meat with the regular orders.

I just picked up a Steak & cheese on Flatbread for lunch today. I have limited choices for Lunch so I do frequent the local Subway once every week or two.

I've had the MexiCali sub a few times and liked it. I think I've gotten the Garlic Chicken once and it was fine too.

It's been years since I ate at Subway. The last time I ate there the lady lifted up the glass door covering the meats and out flew 2 flies. I said No No No, walked out and called the corporate hot line and also the local health department to report them.

My husband also says that without ordering 'double meat', Subway is just a loaf of bread. He prefers Jimmy John's. I only eat my own subs made from half a loaf of Italian bread. Meats and cheeses are from the local Italian deli.

@THETOT Just Goggled the menu. Doesn't sound good.

Haven't been there in quite some time and don't plan on going back.

No... I'm fortunate that we have many sandwich shops and restaurants that make real authentic submarine sandwiches. Hubby says Subway is for people who don't know any better.

@Group 5 minus 1 @They have always had all veggie subs and veggie subs with cheese. I can't say whether they will still make these now.

I hope they have improved their breads.

It's been a while since I've seen anything about the "there's no tuna in Subway tuna" lawsuit.

Really Gross Story Alert

About five years ago a nearby Subway suddenly closed with a "permanently closed" sign in the window. If you looked inside, it seemed as if the employees just walked out without closing up. Remember all Subways are individually owned franchises.

A few days later I saw they had had a health department inspection which revealed mold growing in all refrigerated cases, including the ones they were making sandwiches from. They were immediately shut down and word was the owner quickly left the country to avoid any liability.

I stopped eating at Subway a few years ago when I went through the drive-thru and ordered a BLT with mayo.

I got back to my office and only had bacon and mayo on the roll. I called and complained and the so-called manager said that people complain when they order a BLT and it has lettuce and tomato on it. I was amazed.

So instead of serving me a BLT with lettuce and tomato (which should be a given), they cater to the idiots of the world that order a BLT and don't want the LT. Why offer a BLT if they aren't going to automatically supply the LT??

I don't like Subway. If I'm going to eat a sub, it's usually Jersey Mikes. Or there are mom & pop sub shops that are excellent. And usually if a place has good pizza (not Dominos or Pizza Hut), they usually have good subs too.
